So I've decided to start uploading and selling my photography on Society6, a print on demand website with a lot of different products such as clocks, tapestries, rugs, clothing etc. I'm really excited to see if I generate sales through this venue, as I've had some success on Redbubble in the short time I've been there.

Today I went to upload a new batch of photos and I get the dreaded "Page is temporarily unavailable" message. After doing a bit of research, it appears there is a number of uploads one can do until it will let you do more. It just so happens that I uploaded 20 total in the last couple of days so I'm hoping this will break free soon so I can get more items listed.

Has anyone else ran into this issue? If so, how long did it take before it broke free again? Tell us about your experience selling at Society6, I'm really interested to see if anyone has been really successful at generating meaningful revenue from this venue.

Finally got concrete information from Society6 themselves when I was asking about a large production upload run: "Society6's website is not designed to accommodate that many files uploaded within a short amount of time. The most that can be done is 200mb per hour."

Thank you for the update! I finally ended up emailing them after a few days and they had to do something behind the scenes that finally let me start uploading again. Been working well ever since.
